DATE_RANGE data type for esql

[shmuelhanoch]

Basic support for DATE_RANGE field type.

I'd add another test to x-pack/plugin/src/yamlRestTest/resources/rest-api-spec/test/esql/10_basic.yml that loads the range and asserts that output looks right. That should work given when you are, but it's really simple to point at.

After than, I'd try and get the rest of the tests passing.

ℹ️ Important: Docs version tagging

👋 Thanks for updating the docs! Just a friendly reminder that our docs are now cumulative. This means all 9.x versions are documented on the same page and published off of the main branch, instead of creating separate pages for each minor version.

We use applies_to tags to mark version-specific features and changes.

Expand for a quick overview

When to use applies_to tags:

✅ At the page level to indicate which products/deployments the content applies to (mandatory)
✅ When features change state (e.g. preview, ga) in a specific version
✅ When availability differs across deployments and environments

What NOT to do:

❌ Don't remove or replace information that applies to an older version
❌ Don't add new information that applies to a specific version without an applies_to tag
❌ Don't forget that applies_to tags can be used at the page, section, and inline level

🤔 Need help?

Makes sense to me. I think it's time to drop draft from this, get all the tests happy, and get it in. Then we can extend it with stuff like supporting this field type in top n (not as a sort key, but as a sorted field), COALESCE, TO_STRING, etc. And maybe a TO_DATE_RANGE function too. Lots of separate stuff we can build on top of this.

Looks great! Let's get this un-drafted. I'm pretty comfortable getting this in if CI is happy.

Once CI is truly happy I'll give it one more look, hopefully just to find follow up stuff.
